Unless it’s been fitted with some sort of aftermarket anti theft fixings, I know some social housing and local councils fit “anti-lift“ brackets on radiators to prevent theft while empty premises are being 2nd fixed, maybe they do similar with boilers. Otherwise it’s a simple job, usually remove...

Hikvision ColorVu are good value for your money, not too sure what resolution your DVR can handle, signals switchable TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS and colour at night.

Personally I wouldn’t touch one, you don’t know how badly damaged it was before the repair and the quality of the workmanship. There are an awful lot of high end cars ending up on Main Dealers forecourts having been badly damaged, repaired and sold as “approved” vehicles with a clean bill of...

I have used the Texecon Odyssey range of Sounders, very simple to connect to Veritas panels. A on Panel to A on Sounder B on Panel to B on Sounder ….etc

You could always change the sounder to a Texecom one, the wiring couldn’t be simpler. A to A B to B Etc

You are correct, the default engineer code is 1234 then press ‘prog’, if this doesn’t work then the engineer code has been changed. Your options are 1. Try to obtain the code from previous owner / installer. 2. Default to factory settings and select new user and engineer codes then reprogram...

Firstly I’d be looking at how to make the house more efficient, insulation, double glazing etc, this in turn would lower the output of the required boiler.

That’s shocking, makes you wonder what the rest of the install is like if he’s happy to leave that on show.

Yes it can, but if the property is empty, why rush it.

Quick update, thanks Lucid since I turned off “Auto Update Channel List” I haven’t lost any HD channels overnight, that’s 6 nights and counting. Prior to that it had happened 4 times in 10 days so fingers crossed this has fixed it. Thanks again.

Thanks, I have now turned off the “Auto Update Channel List”, I was thinking that I needed to turn off Firmware Updates. I’ll report back with any news. Thanks again.

Couldn’t find an option to turn the Automatic Update off.

Needs to be done properly otherwise it will not perform as wanted, the idea of the aluminium spreader plates is to distribute the heat from the plastic pipe over a larger area, this plate needs to be in contact with the floorboards / chipboard. Aluminium plates will perform better than foil...

The aluminium plate / foil needs to be in full contact (no gaps) with the flooring otherwise it won’t work efficiently.

Thanks for your reply, firstly my transmitter is indeed Winter Hill, I’m on the Lancashire coast. I will turn off the “Auto Update” feature tonight when I get home. I don’t have any pre made fly leads, I made the leads from the Labgear Distribution Hub to all of the TV points and the fly leads...

Just replaced a Samsung TV with a 50” Panasonic TX-50JX850B in my “man cave”. 4 times in 10 days when we turn the TV on it has lost some HD channels, retune and all back and working, reported to TV supplier and he doesn’t suspect a faulty tuner as it’s retaining the non HD channels. He...

Thanks for your replies guy’s, it’s not practical to re-run the cables to the fitting so will look at putting a capacitor across the light fitting

Thanks Bernard, as above reply, having done some research it appears to be a well know problem with LED bulbs, but this issue has only just occurred following approximately 6 years of trouble free use ?. I don’t recall her even changing a bulb during that time, certainly no electrical work...
